Sunday Church Bombings in Kenya.

Officials in northeastern Kenya have confirmed that at least 16 people were killed following explosions targeting two churches this sunday.

About 40 people were also wounded in the simultaneous attacks on a Roman Catholic church and an African Inland church in Garissa, near the Somali Border.

There have been numerous bombings and kidnappings in Kenya since October, when Kenyan forces crossed into Somalia to help that country battle al-Shabab Islamic militants.

Al-Shabaab is linked to al Qaeda and has been designated a t errorist organization by the United States.
